Equipment
Method
- In a food processor, combine the sesame seeds, chopped dates, and honey (or maple syrup). Pulse until the mixture resembles a sticky dough.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of each muffin tin or silicone mold, creating a firm base for your cups.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the sesame base in each mold, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
- Cover the molds with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Once set, gently remove the cups from the molds.
- Top with fresh mixed berries and sprinkle with extra sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy your delightful no-bake dessert!

Notes
Feel free to play around with the sweetener in this recipe—maple syrup offers a lovely flavor, but agave syrup works well too! You can also include other toppings like shredded coconut or chopped nuts for added texture. These cups can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them perfect for prepping ahead of time. Just be sure to add the berries right before serving to keep them fresh and vibrant! Happy cooking!
